The farmer is often uncertain " hat to
do with cotton stalks, corn stalks. weeds
and grass that are on the field. and which
are in his way. 1t is more difficult to
pillow land that is covered with the refuse
of a previous crop, and 1t Is 50 much
easier TO burn it than to pIow it under.
that many farmers apply the torch, and
destroy the life of their land. The fol
lowing valuable article on the subject was
written by I. B. Baldwin, Of Texas, and
published III the American Rural Home.
He says;
81 was travelling in Texas and stopped
at night with farmer Of considerable
intelligence and some means. | asked
him why he burned his corn stalks. He
replied, burn them in order to get them
out of my way. My land is SO rich and
the soil SO deep that il does not need the
| assistance of vegetable matter to aid in
making a crop. | replied that just as fer
tile lands as his had succumbed to slch
treatment in Indiana and Illinois, and
| that it was on y a question of time when
his OWE fertile acres would weaken under
| such treat ment."
"Why," said he, 'In the old States they
almost cultivate their crops with fire
| They begin by first cutting down and
| burning up everything that will burn
and every year afterward they burn what
ever stalks and grass that may be found
upon the ground AT planting time"
Yes, | answered, and i'll those States
| where they once made Il bale of cotton to
the acre, this and similar depicting prac-
tees have so damaged the soil that it now
requires from two to four acres to make a
bale of cotton
''He soon saw the truth OF my argu-
ment, and the following morning he told
me that he had thought much and serious
" about what | termed his suicidal prac-
tice. and that he had determined to Danish
fire from his fields
''There are thousands of farmers North
and South, whom would be glad to CON
vert from this wasteful practice of burning
the vegetable matter on their farms. Dc
not burn anything get stalk of cotton
and disc harrow, and after putting the
stalks, weeds and grass in proper shape
for plOWing under, let your land have The
full benefit Of every particle. | have seer
acres of excellent coat grass burned which
if turned would have been worth hundred.
of dollars to the next crop. Instead oi
burning off anything, haul on more grass
and leaves and turn it all under. y re
cent writer says the torch has wrought
more ruin to farm lands in the South thar
all other causes. Many grain growers
burn their wheat and rice straw. Instead
of planting and plowing under peas, rye
grass, &c, they use the torch TO destro.
the refuse from the previous crop. Al
most as we'll burn up the corn and whea
with it,
All farmers are not SO short-sighted
Many are now now seeking to increase tn
supply of vegetable matter instead of de
, stroying it, and are making money.
